Chapter 21 - Duke Castorik

The door knocked as the Duke said, Come in

His secretary entered short hairs that were tied up with her silver earrings visible she entered and said, The Raid was succesful, this month's goblin raid was successful, should I report the details? Sir Castorik The duke looked up as he removed his spectacles, looking forward at his secretary, his grey hairs that were in between his normal brown hairs with his clean shave he looked at her as he said go ahead

Sir...Reported there were 32 deaths 11 from our side

I see...Castorik looked back at the papers fitting his glasses as if he dosent have much to hear, As he said and how many critically injured? He picked back his pen ready to check on his documents again

She looked at the papers she had, from the guild, the report status of the raid as she said, Zero....

Zero huh, he sighed before he looked back up, Zero? What do you mean zero Diana...

Zero critically injured sir....

How come? He put his pen down demanding an explanation, It's ridiculous that with 32 deaths there are zero critically injured....Oh...did the priests tend them already?

No sir....Diana read the papers again stuttering, I—Its weird...It says there are people with only light casualties and yes they were healed

Oh...of course...he sat back down, But you do need to tell Petra to tell me the immediate news about the raid not the aftermath where they got healed by the priests

Sir petra is in the fiv—

Oh yea...that reminded me, she is in the five star quest right? so the vice guildmaster must be doing it....what was her name again?

Iri—

No need just tell me, how much are they requesting to pay the Churches, I'll sign the documents approving their transaction from my side

Sir...They aren't requesting any money....And according to the report, it's right after the raid was finished

Castorik looked at diana before he said Hand me those, Diana rushed and handed him the papers as he read them

What....The churches never came to their aid?

The church did give a statement saying it was too dangerous for their priests

He ignored her and continued reading...before slamming the papers on his desk, Send the Leader of the Group we sent

Diana nodded as she went outside returning a few minutes later, Castorik was sitting on his desk waiting for the leader with his legs crossed as the leader entered he shouted

OWEN TWETT OF THE TWELWETH DIVISION REPORTING

Owen...Castorik looked at him gave him the papers as he said, Read this for me and tell me how much of this is accurate

Owen grabbed the papers and read them bit by bit as he said, It's pretty accurate sir....Except the part of the critically injured

I knew it, so tell me how exactly were there enough healers to heal everyone up fast enough and they turned the tide instantly

Sir...I'm not sure, But from what I remembered there was a huge source of light....comin— owen stopped midway before saying, Uhm there was a high priest.... likely

Castorik smirked as he came closer to owen, Castorik was clearly taller as he said, Owen I know the vice guildmaster bribed you, but you better tell me the truth....or else, Castorik's threat froze owen as he said

There was a man, a boy who could use some sort of high level skills of healing, he turned the tide..by healing all of us while burning all the goblins....

Okay where is he....

That i don't know sir, But lady iris wasn't letting anyone see

Castorik chuckled a he said to owen, Okay...Get out

Owen saluted before walking outside as Diana said, What should we do sir?

Let's get some information on that high level healer, Clearly the vice guildmaster said not a single church responded yet a high level spell was used, I have a feeling they are hiding something nice, Castorik smiled as he looked outside the window
